About this work

The Seven Bishops of England, who in 1688 were imprisoned in the Tower by King James II because they openly disapproved of his Declaration of Indulgence. In the middle the portrait of Archbishop William of Canterbury, around it the portraits of William of St. Asaph, John of Chichester, Thomas of Peterborow, Jonathan of Bristol, Thomas of Bath and Wells and Francis of Ely. At the top two medallions: one shows an image of the Tower, the other an image of a scale with a sun and a moon.
